Deepwiki Devin AI as assistant in my questions, open-points around use/problems with Writer

Just a hint.

Web address Deepwiki Devin AI-agent with LO-core repository clone is an AI-agent with clone of LO-core source code.
So far I learned to successfully use that if a question / problem arises around the use of Writer. Not tested so far for other LO modules.
Quite interesting completion to Ask LibreOffice forum. Sometimes the answer can be gained in shorter time.

In most cases it analysis source code of LO-core to generate answer to question asked. Unclear how frequently its LO-core clone get synchronized with LO upstream repository.

any example ?

Practically arbitrary question / problem / open point on any level of sophistication one struggles the given point of time about. I didn’t recorder my past sessions with deepwiki Devin on LO core yet these were numerous days ago and LO use is not the central matter of my current project hence can’t remember details.
Right now I use it to clarify the point raised in ANSI escape codes from RTF-document to .odt / .ott

although the point there was not very clear and there’s no clue about what this AI could help for …

indeed. and even dumb when asked about history

but no doubt tools lke that will make progress in the coming months.
already a good help to the raw https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/

Eventually we are not on the same wave. Let me try to ensure the needed mental sync is established.
Eventually we are already in-sync and this clarification is actually obsolete - let’s see.

What I mean is not the reading / studying the written materials one encounters once one navigates to URL I provided in my opening but the active interaction with Devin AI-agent that project. That page has a field in the bottom area to get engaged in interactivity with Devin over there, latter one has access to its local LO-core source code repo clone.
I am asking over there any questions rising during my Writer use, or try to discuss open points, or consult it regarding ongoing troubles. Devin is mainly analyzing source code to give answers to my points / questions.
